Well, why should we Elevate something like Summer?
Because... Because not always all goes the way we planned, sometimes life's winds blows cold on us, or life decides to rain down on us, or perhaps everything is just perfectly boring and ordinary...
That's why... we should always find ways to elevate our lives, perhaps by buying a transparent umbrella so that we can see the amazing rain drops, or opening that old bottle of wine we keep on saving for that so elusive perfect moment, or why not put some Heavenly Delightful Löjrom on top of our lives!
This week we are De-elevating the price of Löjrom to 179 CHF from 199 CHF, so that you can Elevate yours!
Here are some simple, yet delicious recipes, for your summer brunch, lunch or evening inspiration!
